:lol: Yes indeed. Sorry maybe i didn't word it correctly. When you cut the dormer cheek tile how do you get the correct cut position on the tile so the tiles line up and look neat? http://www.hodkinjones-grp.co.uk/GRP-detail.asp?fldauto=1032&img=DOR1031&main=140

Thanks for you help. I will get a shorter hose and open the valve and see if it works, fingers crossed but get it replaced, i don't want any accidents. I'll let you know how i get on. Cheers.

If the hose is kinked at all would this be a problem? The lever does turn but nothing happens so it could be half closed, will it need to be replaced or is there another way to get it fully open?
